FRANCES AND DEATH.
New York Herald.1

New York Herald.
There is no excuse for any one
being buried alive" said DR.. w. A.
Hammond. A Herald reporter had
called on him in reference to the
burial alive of Miss Stickney. of
Indianapolis. who was taken out Of
vault and found to be in trance
state, and did not die unit! several
weeks after her funeral.
"No," he continued, ":here is no
excuse for it. Tie tests Of death
have Leen brought down TO such a
point that any competent physician
would have no difficulty in accn-
rately determining whether or not
death has taken place"
docs decomposition always set
in after death?"
"Invariably. provid, I'd the body
is not frozen. OF course you can
freeze it and keep it for years be-
fore it will decompose-just as fish
are kept frozen for the market.
The salmon that you cat low were
caught last spring and have been
frozen ever since. They are lust as
good"
"Do you imagine that there il
any foundation to the belief OF
many that people are sometime.
buried alive?"
"Oh. I have no Doubt of it.
have known Of its being done. but il
is not by any means of frequent oc,
carrence-not SO frequent as many
people imagine. The physician il
entirely to blame when it does hap
pen. The fact that bodies have
been found turned over in the cot
fius lead people TO believe that they
were buried alive. But that's not
so. 1t is probably the work of the
gases coming from the body.
Pent up in . coffin they become
very powerful, and it il almost sim
gular that they do not move bodies
around more than they do"
Then you don't take any stock
in the stories of men who come to
life under the ground. Of their ter
rible struggles to get free. and their
horrible death 1t last ?"
That's all bosh. Poe wrote Of

THE VAUDEVILLE ELECTION
VAUDEVILLE, May 2, 1887.

EDIroR Sr. TAMNANY FARMER:
In your last issue appeared a
very untruthful aud malicious ac-
count Of the election here for Mayor.
The author and the would.be roE
popul, are not relatires. but are
closely aIlied in the vicious purpose
TO present things as they do not
exist. l will ADM: the truth Of the
threadbare quotation, zoe popuh.
cOE del. but not a stuffed ballot ZOE
del. His majority (if you call it so)
could not be but four, in conse-
quence of the three illegal votes
above the number registered.
The liqnor aud i'll practices re-
ferred to are simply new depart
ure Ut ocular science. which causes
one 10 call his mirr0r-refected
image somebody else.
HIS lame attempt 10 intimilate
his Honor Judge Thompson. in
granting a contest. should one be
asked. is like his usual aggressive
manners, aud tLose of his kind like
himself. who are his only support
ers.
II is useless for me, the rae ricfis,
to notice further tue prattle Of uor
popuii, as every fair-minded citizen
knows the truth of the matter.
Yours truly, ALEX BAND.

No wonder DR.. Gage enjoys such wide spread

skill in his chosen speciality. Nor does he demand
enormous fees in advance and make great prom
Uses never to be fulfilled which we are sorry to
say is too often the case with INSCRIPTIONS pre-
tenders who come and never seen again.
On the contrary DR. Gage is frank and honest in all
his dealings, and repeats his visits regularly as
others would do if they had confidence in their
ability to accomplish what they promise DR..
Gage has scores of cases in midst like the fol-
lowing;
Miss L. Ola Turner, of Berlin Vt had an injury
to the spine, and had not walked nor borne her
heft for six years. DR.. Gage cured her and never

disease involving liver bowels and kidneys; cured
VIM E. Fiske Hardwick, given up by council

Shot the Wrong Boy.

The Pinkerton special police, guard
ing the new men working in place of
strikers on the coal docks at JERSEY
City, are responsible for another trag-
edy. While a number of boys were
playing on an open lot adjoining the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
railroad coal yards Thursday, they
were fired on by the PinkertOns and
Thomas Hogan, Is years old, locker
on, was killed. The boys jeered at
the detectives stationed in the compa-
ny's yards and then began pelting them
with snow balls. A group of strikers
and sympathizers on the west side of
Henderson street smiled approval at
the lads. At length the leader of the
PinkertOn men stepped forward and
ordered the boys to stop throwing mis-
and almost Immediately three sharp
cracks of revolver rang out and Ho-
gan fell dead. The excitement was
intense aud the by-standers fled in
every direction. The leader of the
strikers, as soon as he cnnld get his
men together, ordered them back to
their headquarters at the corner of
Henderson and Ferry streets. In an
ticipatiOn of an attack the Pinkerton
men were ut once drawn up i'm battle
array. Hogan was not one of the par
ty of boys pelting the men, but stood
on the opposite side of Henderson
street. The police arrested Murphy
Moriarity, one of the Pinkerton men,
as one of the shooters. One of his
eyes was discOlored and swollen where
he had been struck by a SNOWFALL.
Another of PinkertOn's men had a
tooth knocked out by snow ball.
